I'm planning on getting together the Dark Brotherhood shrouded armor myself. I've asked around a few other places today, but I just want to get as many different ideas and approaches as possible before I get started. I pretty much know how I'm going to handle everything other than the chest. I'm not sure if I'm going to mod a pleather jacket or attempt to make it from scratch, any ideas would be appreciated because I'm completely new to making costumes.

As far as props go, I plan to make the Blade of Woe to go with it and possibly even rig up some kind of subtle LED setup around my left palm so I keep my Healing on deck. Who knows, I have a good bit of time until September.
